via Deadspin: "Not only did Blowers choose infielder Matt Tuiasosopo as his player of the game, he predicted that the rookie would hit his first major league home run. In his second at bat. Off a fastball. On a 3-1 count. Into the second deck.

Take a guess what happened next. (And then listen to the call.)"

Why Braun in LF, Hart in RF?

Sorry if this has been hashed out before, but is there any particular reason Braun's in LF and Hart's in RF, instead of vice versa?  By my account Braun has the stronger arm, and it seems that his plus range and low error rate would be a better fit for RF where uncaught balls and mistakes are magnified.

I could be completely wrong with my assessment of Ryan's defense, or I could be missing something obvious.  Ryan's inexperienced, and Corey's plenty fast too, so the answer could just be "it wouldn't make much of a difference".

Thanks for the beers, Mark

Just a quick note.  I'm a lifelong New Yorker/former Yankee fan who somehow became a diehard Crew fan (long story), and made my pilgrimage to Miller Park with my brother 2 years ago.  Over on brewerfan.net I hooked up with a great guy who let us crash his family's tailgater, which was a blast.

Yet another guy said depending on where we were sitting, he just wanted to come over and buy us a beer to welcome us to Milwaukee.  It turned out that we were sitting just one section over, so before the game he made good on his offer, came over with a beer each for my bro and me, and declined our offer to return the favor later in the game.  It was an awesome gesture from a really nice guy to a couple of strangers he'd never see again (in fact, everyone in Milwaukee was great).

Anyway, I just learned today (2 years later) that that guy was in fact The Doorman.  Thanks again, Mark...
